So, the most curious development tonight. My 01 Raptor has been running really well. I was missing a tailight so I wired up a after market 1. I just cut the OEM clip and wired in tail light. All seamed well, took it for a ride tonight and it starts,idles and even runs fine, that is UNTIL, you advance past 1/4 throttle, then it spits and sputters. I am able to ride and shift through all gears but not past 1/4. The thing is, the parking break is already disconnected but it looks like just the switch was removed from perch. Not 100%. Could it be possible it is a carburetor issue? Thanks

sounds more like the brake rev limiter. un hook the light and see if it fixes it

Yea, that's what I'm thinking. But the parking brake has been totally removed. However there still is a physical switch on bike, just not hooked up. But yes I will do that. I wasn't aware it was in the circuit.

If you havent solved your problem it sounds like the issue I just got resolved. The rev limiter was hitting and not letting me rev up very high. I could get thru each gear but would hit a wall just short of half throttle. Check out my posts and videos to see if its like yours. Good luck

Rev limiter. Find the wire that's running from the little L fitting next to the shifter. I cut that and connected a wire and ran it directly to a point to ground. Can be the frame or negative on battery. This will cut the rev limiter out completely. Word of warning though it will not limit reverse either so just be cautious about how much faster reverse will be.
